Food and dining
Cuisine on board our luxury gulets is sheer pleasure. Each yacht’s crew includes a skilled chef whose expertise ranges from haute cuisine to regional Aegean and Ottoman specialties, and promises satisfaction for the most discriminating palate. Seafood is served Mediterranean style, with organically grown fresh herbs and seasonal vegetables and fruits, ensuring the finest flavors.
Dining becomes a timepiece for guests on our gulet cruises as the pace of life takes on a completely new rhythm on the sea. With the fantastic climate of southwest Turkey, guests prefer to dine al fresco on deck while overlooking the dazzling surroundings. Between the thrill of sailing, dropping anchor to swim, hiking into the hills, exploring the rustic charm of a sleepy fishing village and simply relaxing on board, food brings everyone together to share feast after feast.
Turkey is a fabulous destination for food lovers, with a culinary heritage shaped by diverse influences from the many cultures that have passed through and settled here. Specialties from the Ottoman court, traditions from the Anatolian heartland and a vibrant Aegean and Mediterranean kitchen contribute to a truly unforgettable culinary experience.
During a Neyzen yacht charter vacation, menus on board can be pre planned and discussed with guests. Our chefs accommodate special dietary requirements and provide alternatives for guests with allergies or intolerances. Meat in Turkey is Halal, and Kosher preferences can also be catered to.
